THE LAST TIME - #3 TEXAS 37, #9 COLORADO 39 Irving, Texas, Dec. 1, 2001: With a possible National Championship game berth on the line, No. 3 Texas nearly overcame a 19-point deficit (36-17) before falling to No. 9 Colorado 39-37 in the sixth annual Dr. Pepper Big 12 Championship. With No. 2 Florida los- ing earlier that day, the third-ranked Longhorns had a chance to move into the No. 2 spot with a victory. A raucous mostly-pro Longhorn crowd of 65,675 witnessed a furious comeback by UT in what is still the highest-scoring Big 12 Championship game ever. Led by senior QB 's 240 yards and two on 15-of-25 passing off the bench, the Longhorns rolled up 462 total yards. UT got on the board first when freshman RB capped an impressive six-play, 85-yard scoring drive with a five-yard TD scamper. The Longhorns were driving again before Colorado's Aaron Killion stepped in front of junior QB ' pass at the 15-yard line and returned it 73 yards to the Texas 12-yard line. Three plays later, Chris Brown scored on a 10-yard run and, after the extra point, the game was tied at seven. Colorado built a 16-7 lead, but freshman PK Dusty Mangum nailed a 50-yard to move UT to within six at 16-10. However, the Buffaloes added two more scores off of Longhorn turnovers and pushed their lead to 29-10. UT was able to add another before the half when senior QB Major Applewhite, filling in for an injured Simms, found sophomore WR B.J. Johnson for a 79-yard touchdown strike. Colorado went into the half with a 29-17 lead. The third quarter didn't have the fireworks of the first half as Colorado's Brown scored another touchdown to make the score 36-17. Mangum answered with a 26-yard field goal and the score was 36-20 heading into the fourth quarter. UT put the first points of the final stan- za on the board as Mangum connected on his third field goal of the game to make it 36-23 with 13:42 to play. Colorado chewed up 4:32 on the ensuing seven-play drive, but a fake backfired when junior CB Rod Babers picked off an errant pass from CU's Robert Hodge and returned it 54 yards for a touchdown, bringing UT to within six points at 36-30. The Buffaloes responded and capped a 14-play 51-yard drive with a 43-yard field goal. Down by nine points, UT took over with 1:58 left to play. Applewhite calm- ly led the Longhorns down the field and finished the 13-play march with a one-yard TD toss to Johnson, but only 31 seconds remained on the clock. Texas tried an onside kick but Colorado was able to recover and held on to win the 2001 Big 12 Championship, knock- ing the Longhorns from the national title hunt and allowing Nebraska to move into the BCS title game.
